Property Oracle says ..
This property on School Lane, Herne, presents a unique opportunity for buyers willing to undertake a comprehensive renovation project. The location within Herne Village is a significant advantage, offering the tranquility of village life coupled with excellent access to local schools and transport links. The presence of two outstanding-rated primary schools within close proximity will add significant appeal to families. Herne Bay train station also offers good access to Canterbury and other commuter destinations.
However, the property’s current condition is a major factor to consider. The photos clearly show significant wear and tear throughout, requiring substantial investment in repairs and modernisation. The garden, while present, seems small and unkempt. The list price, while perhaps in line with similar properties in need of renovation in the area, needs to be considered in conjunction with the considerable costs of renovation and the somewhat limited information available on the precise square footage of the property and comparables. Potential buyers should carefully evaluate their budget and factor in these substantial costs before making an offer. The final price after renovation and improvements is likely to be significantly higher than the initial purchase price.
Therefore, we give this property 5 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
